Fine, Portland, You Win!
Now stop rubbing it in everyone else’s face! The fair and beautiful Katie, who just transplanted her fine self from Chicago to Portland, has been posting the most tempting confections from her new workplace - SweetPea Bakery in the famed Portland mini-mall.
Not to mention one off color cake:
And to add insult to injury, she has announced that SweetPea is offering all you can eat vegan brunch. Okay, Portland. We get it. You win. Now stop showing off, already. It’s tacky.
Details from Lisa SweetPea
“Hi Friends!
Its time for us to finally start this! This Sunday, from 9am until noon or so, we will be having an all you can eat brunch buffet. $10 gets you coffee and juice and as much french toast, pancakes, potatoes, scramble, biscuits and gravy, etc etc as you can eat.
Plus, come do some shopping at Herbivore and Food Fight, and maybe make a tattoo appointment at Scapegoat. Some of us need to start paying back some loans!
If this week goes well, we will be doing this every sunday through spring and summer.
all of you who have been coming in regularly are awesome. we love seeing your faces all the time.
xoxo

I can’t get over her pictures or that such a place even exists. But to add brunch to the list? That’s just cruel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Portland doesn’t have you!

Reminds me of Sticky Fingers Bakery in the District. They serve lunch AND soft serve vegany goodness.

Almost makes me want to move to Portland… almost. Maybe we can get Sweet Pea to move to us instead!?!? Those pics are killing me…. I am stuck at work with a bottle of water and a larabar (good, but not THAT good). Gaaaaaah!

C’mon, Isa…
Between the us and the other vegans in this area, we could totally get together and kick Portland’s ass.

gathering 2.0!

okay, I REALLY need to get out to Portland!!
February 25th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I so wish I lived in that awesome city.
February 25th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Stop. Please. I can’t watch this anymore.
February 25th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Damn. All that and no sales tax… I hope that brunch sticks around because that looks intoxicatingly tasty, and I don’t get down there much. The closest thing we have to a vegan shop here in Olympia is the co-op, and our best-bet is Sidecar in Seattle. Which, after spending so much time there anyway, I have yet to visit.

Wowww lucky. I wouldn’t mind changing my name to “Whorebag” if someone would bake a cake like that for me every now and then. Low standards? Not at all.

I’m not vegan, but I do live in Portland and love baked goods, so I’ll have to check it out!

Not a veggie myself, but on the other hand don’t always eat meat either. So sorry that we don’t have such a variety of good baked products readily available in the UK. Quite a few of my family are veggies, so do quite a lot of my own inventive recipes when they visit.
I do fine that it sometimes needs inspiration and quite a lot of ingredients to make a tasty meal and usually end up with lots of dishes to clean up, but its worth it when they enjoy the meal.
